Itinerary
- Day 1
Lucerne
You'll arrive in Lucerne and get settled into your hotel. This gives you time to walk around the town, grab dinner somewhere nearby, and prepare for the cycling week ahead. Take it easy this first day and get familiar with where everything is located.
- Day 2
Lucerne - Weggis - Beckenried - Horw
Start cycling over gentle rolling hills with Lake Lucerne and Mount Rigi in view. You'll pass through the Küssnacht promenade, then take a boat from Weggis to Beckenried to break up the ride. From there, cycle along the lake toward the Horw peninsula where Mount Pilatus comes into view. The route covers about 50 km with 605 meters of climbing, so you'll feel it in your legs by the end.
